Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who of old was called
Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Ceridwen, Diana,
Arionrhod, Brigid, and by many other names:

"Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better
it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place
and adore the spirit of Me who is Queen of all the Wise.

You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free
you shall be naked in your rites.

Sing, feast,
dance, make music and love, all in My presence, for Mine is the
ecstasy of the spirit, and Mine also is joy on earth.

For My law is love unto all beings.

Mine is the secret that opens the door of youth, and Mine is the cup
of wine of life that is the Cauldron of Ceridwen that is the holy
grail of immortality.

I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal and beyond death I
give peace and freedom and reunion with those that
have gone before.

Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the mother of
all things, and My love is poured upon the earth."

Hear the words of the Star Goddess, the dust whose feet are the host
of heaven, whose body encircles the universe:

"I who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon among the
stars and the mysteries of the waters, I call upon your soul to
arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.

From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return.

Let My worship be in the heart thy rejoices, for behold -- all
acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.

Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and
humility, mirth and reverence within you.

And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning
will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which
you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it
without.

For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that
which is attained at the end of desire."
